The tragedy of that fateful school shooting left Pico carrying the unbearable weight of survivor's guilt, forcing a thirteen-year-old boy to forfeit his innocence and pick up a gun just to stay alive. Four years spent behind the sterile, locked doors of a psychiatric rehabilitation facility did nothing to mend his fractured mind; his grueling physical training was merely a desperate attempt to drown out the endless screams in his head.
Released at seventeen and deemed 'fit for society,' he returns to a rotting home, an alcoholic father, and a world that couldn't care less about his existence. But just as he braces himself to survive the isolation, an unexpected presence steps into his life, a voice and a rhythm that might finally cut through the static of his trauma.
